Forgotten cleaning chores in the home

However assiduous we are at keeping our home lovely and clean, there are always places where dust and grime gather that we either forget to check, or find hard to access. However, these awkward spots still need our attention from time to time. Cheap Cleaning Services is turning the spotlight on them in a bid to help create a thorough domestic cleaning routine.

1. Around the fridge – dust gathers underneath, while the top gets greasy from prolonged exposure to cooking in the kitchen. Plus, the door seals attract crumbs and the shelves themselves need regular wiping. Lots to do for this cool customer!

2. Underneath the washing machine and tumble dryer – this is another popular haunt for dust and bits of lint from the clothing being washed and dried. Get someone to help move the machine and then sweep and mop underneath it.

3. Skirting boards and picture rails – out of sight, out of mind applies for these areas, yet a quick dust and wipe will make all the difference.

4. Dishwasher – this hard-working machine keeps out dishes clean, but what about its own interior? To maintain top results, run the dishwasher on empty once in a while, save for a commercial cleaning product or cup full of vinegar or lemon juice to cut through the residual grease from all the plates, cutlery and cups.

5. Lamps, shades and ceiling fans – these can often be ignored. Dust and wipe them from time to time – and don’t forget to wipe around the light switches too.

6. Inside the vacuum cleaner – empty your vacuum cleaner regularly to keep it in tip top condition. Don’t forget to clean it occasionally too to dislodge any stubborn bits of dust and to keep it looking and smelling nice.

7. Cupboards and shelves – don’t just wipe the outside doors. Periodically clear the contents and wipe down the insides of cupboards and shelves to remove spills, sticky patches and mildew.

8. Computers – these expensive items gather a lot of dust due to the static electricity generated. Carefully vacuum around, behind and underneath them to keep them dust free. Don’t forget to regularly wipe the keyboard, screen and mouse too.

9. Storage – check on items placed in storage, either in the attic, in blanket boxes or in the garage. Look for signs of moths, damp, mould or damage. You can get advice online about how to correctly store different materials.

10. Dustbins – these are normally kept outside, and so d not enter the radar when it comes to cleaning inside the home. Yet they can get very messy and smelly if neglected. Once they are clean, invest in large bin bags to keep them clean.

What will you like to do next?

Our local Guildford cleaners have let us down. I have called this helpful company last minute and they were happy to arrange oven, carpet and end of tenancy cleaning service, in fact, not just that, they have charged me at least 30% less the local cleaners were charging.
They arrived 5 minutes before the agreed time, were quietly waiting outside, spend good number of hours, asked me if I was happy, I called to tell them how happy I was and they even offered me 25% discount when I will use their cleaning services again.
What a wonderful cleaning company – honestly!

Hello,
I have called these guys for one off cleaning in our 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms house. The 3 ladies which came did a fantastic job. We were hesitant to leave them in our house as we were using their service for the first time and my husband was a little worried, but when we returned from London after watching a show, we had nothing to worry about, the house was as clean as we expected, no damages done, plus they left a note for 20-% discount on all bookings from now on. We are definitely very happy with their cleaning services.

Dear Luqman
Me and my husband were in Doha whilst we were told we would need our property cleaned. Your company responded to my emails so quickly, I was speechless. You guys professionally cleaned all our property including sofas, mattresses, curtains and rugs including cooker and windows. The landlord has been very pleased and he has also sent you his personal testimonial.
Thanks for your help

Hello,
You guys really helped us get our deposit. We spent a lot of money for getting our property professionally cleaned before moving out but unfortunately the other company has not done the job property and never picked up our phone. You guys only charged us for their errors and did the job, your team was very polite, pleasure to chat with and helped us in this difficult time.
I will recommend you to all our friends and family.
Thanks to Emiliya and Lucy for a great job and John your Carpet Cleaning Guy.
